Forestry Outreach Programs
Master Woodland Steward Program
Wisconsin's
Master Woodland Steward Program is for woodland owners interested in learning
more about their woodlands and sustainable forest management practices. The
Master Woodland Steward Program combines classroom instruction and outdoor
experiences to teach participants the basics of forest ecology and silviculture,
managing for aesthetics, recreation, and wildlife habitat, planning a successful
timber harvest, business decision and planning tools, sources of technical and
financial assistance as well as community outreach techniques.
Participants in the Master Woodland Steward Program receive more than 30
hours of instruction from UW-Extension and Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resource forestry and woodland management specialists. They also receive
reference materials full of practical woodland and wildlife management tips. The
program provides participants with a chance to meet other woodland owners and
share ideas and information about management strategies in a fun and educational
setting. As a graduate of the program you will have the opportunity to help
other woodland owners understand and apply good stewardship practices to their
forests.
The Wisconsin Master Woodland Stewards Program offers intensive training for
woodland owners who are interested in taking the next step to improve their
knowledge and skills and become better stewards of their land.
